    Hello, recently my nova stalled and died on me, I saw the carb wasn't getting gas and would run when I manually tried dripping some in from the top. Since it wasn't getting any I decided to get a new pump, I checked it while disconnected to see if it threw gas and it did not sure about the...

    Hey Guys, Recently purchased a 72 Nova and this Dominator came with it. I am having a hard time identifying what it exactly is. From my research it seems to be a gen 2 Dominator body 1150 CFM (guess) but has QFT stickers on it. There is no serial number or date stamp on the side they are just...

    Hi Guys (and gals) '63 Nova SS convert. The usual 194 6 cylinder. Auto I simply cannot make the car idle when it is placed into gear, no matter how much I play with the timing (which is dead on) fuel mixture on the Rochester BV-1 or idle set screw. Runs smooth as silk sitting in Park or...

    I have a sbc 350 with a th350 on a 72 nova that had a two barrel rochester. After using the car as my daily for a while my carb started to stumble and act up on me. So i decided i would just get a fresh carb and move up to a four barrel instead of spending time and money on the two barrel. So I...

    Hi All, I'm new to this site and hope I'm posting in the right area. Just bought my first Nova (62). It runs great (400sbc). The suspension is original and as such I'm venturing down the path of replacing the front end. I pulled off the carb today and it's stamped LIST-4781-2 1775. The...

    i recently got my nova back from the shop and they fixed whatever needed to be fixed under my budget. They had told me that a problem would be an accelerator pump in the carburetor that's sticking. is it easier to rebuild the whole thing or to just fix the pump or even to get a new carburetor...

    I have a 79 Nova Custom .305. I took off the stock intake and carb and replaced it with an edelbrock aluminum intake and Holley 650 cdm carb. It ran for about half an hour after I got it all back together. I spun it around the block and it felt and sounded great. Later that day it started...

    Hello! I have a question about a carburetor swap. My mechanic says that my carb is too big and in need of repair or rebuild. he recommends that I go with a Carter carb. He quoted me $660 for the swap IF he didn't encounter any other problems during the job. I find that hard to believe. I know a...

    Hi there Nova enthusiasts! I am having a problem with my 1964 Inline 6. First of all, I just purchased the car last summer (2013). I was driving the car when all of a sudden it just stalled out. According to the seller, the car has a new carburetor, new fuel pump and new battery. So what...

    I have been having issues with some backfiring and general rough running. I was adjusting the idle mixture to see if power valve was at issue and one side would kill the engine when screwed in. On the other side it had no effect screwing it in or out. What should i do next? Holley street...

    A little while ago, I picked up a 1973 Nova with a straight six and a three on the tree. At the moment, it runs REALLY rich. Does anyone know how to tune the factory 1bbl carbs or have any helpful diagrams of them? I'd rather not swap carbs until I at least try to get this one functioning half...
